Dolby Live at Park MGM headliner Bruno Mars is teaming up with Bellagio, also operated by MGM Resorts, to open a new cocktail lounge called The Pinky Ring in early 2024. “I’ve been performing in Vegas for years, and I’ve always wanted a place where I could throw glamorous parties when I’m in town,” Mars said in a statement. “A place that felt like my personal penthouse suite, with live music and sensational cocktails. The Pinky Ring is that.” The new venue will take the place of the former Lily Bar & Lounge in Bellagio’s central casino and more details are expected soon.

The Sphere will feature the world-famous Radio City Rockettes daily throughout the holiday season on its exosphere programming in a natural collaboration of two entertainment properties owned by Madison Square Garden Entertainment. “There is a magic here that we’ve created with Sphere, and there is a magic that is created by the Rockettes every year in the Christmas Spectacular,” Guy Barnett of Sphere Entertainment said in a statement. “There is nothing more artful than the Rockettes or more scientific than Sphere, so bringing these two together … is the essence of what we do here at Sphere. This is particularly exciting because it is the most complex combination of real-life footage and animated content we’ve created for the exosphere to date.”
